Someone Who Inspires Me

I love the quilts of Faith Ringgold. With their rich stories and vibrant colors, her quilts have a whimsical but powerful effect on me. She learned quilt making from her mother and decided to switch from painting to quilt making to get away from Western/European traditions that are associated with painting. I find her decision to work with fiber to be a political decision as well as an aesthetic one.
